Employment Program

India aims for carbon neutrality by 2070, while manufacturing is set to create 63 million blue-collar jobs by 2030. Yet 12 lakh youth entering technical education each year have little exposure to green skills.

Pakka Skills prepares youth for green jobs through hands-on training, industry partnerships, and a focus on sustainability.

How the model works

Pakka Skills equips youth with technical competence and life skills to build green careers. Sustainability is at the core of this initiative, supporting the manufacturing sector’s transition to a green economy while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goal of responsible consumption and production.

With the support of academic and industry partners, graduates - many of whom are first-generation learners - go on to work as technicians and operators across the manufacturing sector, with over 90% securing employment in partner companies.

The institute augments traditional trades such as industrial electrician and maintenance fitter, while introducing green trades such as paper & pulp operations and solar installation. It is also developing an entrepreneurship and innovation hub to support eco-friendly, product-based microenterprises, led by rural women.
